When you hear “Christmas manicure,” a few color schemes undoubtedly pop into your head\u2014red and green (of course), red and gold, perhaps even silver and gold. But if you’re a true nail art aficionado, you’re likely looking for something a little… different this time of year. You can appreciate the classic palettes, of course, and likely even dabble in them. But in a sea of traditional candy canes and Buffalo plaids, you want to stand out from the festive masses.\n<\/p>\n

If that sounds like you, we recommend thinking pink. As it turns out, the color of Barbie dolls and Good Witches can also make a great base or accent in a Christmas-ready manicure. Don’t believe us? Scroll on for 17 of our favorite pink Christmas nail ideas\u2014from mid-century designs to subtle snowflakes\u2014and get ready for your prettiest seasonal set yet.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A glitter ombr\u00e9 French manicure is a great way to mimic snowfall\u2014especially when topped with nail art of literal snowflakes. Add some candy cane stripes, and you’ve got a classic Christmas look.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A base polish with subtle shimmer offers a more minimal way to mimic snowfall. This particular shade leans heavily neutral, adding to the sleek and chic appeal.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The only thing we love more than a mismatched manicure is a mismatched manicure that’s easy to DIY. Draw on some French tips (traditional and negative space), pop on some celestial decals, and paint a few digits solid for a low-lift, festive set.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In the immortal words of G(a)linda the Good, “pink goes good with green\u2014”especially in a set that marries shimmering French tips and a swirly wrapping paper design.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Whether you’re a David Bowie fan, all about the short mani renaissance, or just love a holiday star motif, this pink-on-pink (feat. green) set is worth recreating. Freehand your stars with a fine lining brush, or keep it simple with decals.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Another Glinda-coded manicure (what can we say, she’s having a real moment), this set demonstrates how the best way to give a solid baby pink manicure a holiday-friendly upgrade is by opting for a frosted finish.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Pink just feels so natural<\/em> in a mid-century Christmas design (see also: blue). The wrapping paper on the middle finger and the vintage ornaments on the ring finger are particularly funky.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A velvet finish instantly makes any color cozier, including pink. While we love a hot pink velvet moment as much as the next nail art fan, a rosy hue amps up the sumptuous vibes.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Is it a modern mani roundup without a little silver chrome? (The answer is no, no it is not.) While nail artist Phoebe Summers drew these on herself, we’d probably opt for nail stickers\u2014or take this pic to a talented nail artist as inspo.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Yes, Christmas-coded pinks tend to be light, muted, or both. But a piping hot Barbie pink could be just the ticket for a stand-out holiday party mani\u2014just pair it with gold polish or flakes.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Nail artist Aist\u0117 Haas creates such stunning manis that it’s easy to assume they all require pro-level skills to recreate. But believe it or not, this one is a relatively easy lift: Use a brush and eyeshadow (or the sponge technique and two pink polishes) to create your aura base, then add a coat of glittery gold polish and gold star decals. Lock everything in with a glossy top coat, and voil\u00e0\u2014you’ve got a pink version of a starry night mani.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A touch of gold makes anything feel more Christmas-y. Case in point: The gold shift in this shimmering pink polish.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

For a look that incorporates<\/em> pink without going full-on (or even primarily) pink, consider a mismatched ornament design. It looks particularly fetching on shorter lengths.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A simple glitter French with coquettish pink bows works as well for Christmas as it does for Valentine’s Day. Maybe it’s time to become a\u2014dare we say it\u2014mani repeater<\/em>?\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A great manicure is always fun to receive, but this one\u2014with its gift box design featuring pink and red stripes and green bow\u2014is a special gift to humanity.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Nail artist @heygreatnails said this manicure she created has “the sweetest pink glass peppermint and gingerbread vibes.” And it’s true! What more could you possibly want?\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
